Hey steve,

I think you've overlooked the value of this thread.

It is evidence in itself of Lizzies first point which is that there are a lot of different ideas of what english culture is on the one hand, and that people are very sensitive and protective of their perceptions and views of what is/should be seen as Englishness on the other.

That includes Lizzie and those who were under the illusion that they were her opponents.
